2.1.7 with delta's through 291 applied. Installing the package Xemacs-19.14 through either /stand/sysinstall or pkg_add does not produce a working Xemacs. Neither method seems to install packages upon which Xemacs is dependent. With the manual pkg_add I get the messages Warning: Can't open dependency file '/var/db/pkg/.../+REQUIRED_BY'! Dependency registration is incomplete. where ... is replaced by jpeg-6a, png-0.89c, xpm-3.4j in turn. Now I had already separately installed jpeg and xpm as packages from the CDROM and as a result I have /var/db/pkg/jpeg-6 and /var/db/pkg/xpm-3.4f. So there seems to be a version problem with the dependent packages? e.g. it looks for xpm-3.4j instead of xpm-3.4f and can't find it to install? Is this a problem with the Xemacs package or the 2.1.7 selection of package versions to include on the CD? I see that the correct (expected?) versions of these packages exist under packages-current on ftp.freebsd.org. Would these packages work under 2.1.7? I didn't check packages-2.2, but assuming they exist there as well would they work better than the -current ones? ---- Ken
